  The King is dead:
long live the King. In 1509, Henry VII was succeeded by his son Henry VIII, second monarch of the house of Tudor. But
this is not the familiar Tudor world of Protestantism and playwrights. Decades before the Reformation, ancient
traditions persist: boy bishops, pilgrimage, Corpus Christi pageants, the jewel-decked shrine at Canterbury.

  
  So Great a Prince offers a fascinating glimpse of a country and
people that at first appear alien - in calendar and clothing, in counting the hours by bell toll - but which on closer
examination are recognisably and understandably human. Lauren Johnson tells the story of 1509 not just from the
perspective of king and court, but of merchant and ploughman; apprentice and laundress; husbandman and foreign worker.
She looks at these early Tudor lives through the rhythms of the ritual year, juxtaposing political events in Westminster
and the palaces of southeast England with the liturgical and agricultural events that 
  punctuated the year for
the ordinary people of England.

  Reach for the stars
  By Sabrina Dragoni-Long on 24 April 2016
 
So Great a Prince, by the historian Lauren Johnson, is an excellent snapshot of England in 1509, the year of the
accession of a young Henry VIII to the throne. The told story is not only concentrated on the King and his courtiers,
but also on common people's daily life. An intriguing and inspiring book, the second effort of this young and incredibly
skilled, knowledgeable and highly witted historian. I highly recommend it.

  A fascinating look at Tudor England
  By AC on 24 April 2016
  I
found this a fascinating book. Although not a historian myself, I am very interested in history and enjoy reading
historical fact and fiction. This book was interesting to me as, rather than going over the usual facts of the marriages
of Henry The Eighth, it concentrated on the social history of England at his accession. It talks about life in general
in 1509; education, clothing, sexuality, money, marriage customs, food and feasting amongst a wealth of other
interesting and, to me, largely unknown facts. I learnt a lot about the way of life of ordinary people as well as the
well off and Ms Johnson takes particular care to explore the lot of women in that era. I liked the way the book followed
the religious year, starting and finishing with Lady Day, showing the rhythms of life for the English at that time.
  The book is authoritative and the notes and bibliography show the depth and breadth of research undertaken. The
index is also wide ranging and helpful to the reader. So Great a Prince is very well written, immensely readable and I
just love a book where I learn lots of new things. Highly recommended.
